In Irelia's view, Jarvan IV is undoubtedly a very wise ruler. He was appointed when the army was defeated, he was ordered to be in danger, he came to the throne when the Noxians invaded, and then he came to power in the Tortoise.
He won a complete victory in the Battle of Bissia and successfully proclaimed himself emperor afterwards, which was unparalleled.
Although Irelia still had different views on the subsequent use of troops by Demacia against Nashrame, judging from the subsequent split of the Noxus Empire, it seems that Jarvan IV and she were quite similar on the battlefield.
place, but outside the battlefield it is completely different.
Irelia's failure mainly came from outside the battlefield, so she chose to come to Demacia with some intention of learning.
In Demacia, she really learned something.
If it were someone else, he might have learned how to win over the army, how to command the army, and how to use victory to establish his own authority.
But Irelia...she learned a bit crookedly.
I'm afraid no one can imagine that the first lesson Irelia learned in Demacia was to ban magic.
This thing seems a bit counter-intuitive. After all, in Ionia, as a newly born land, magic can be said to be a very common daily element. Unlike Demacia, which still maintained a ban on magic system at that time, Ionia
Niah is full of sects that learn magic, and temples everywhere often explain the applications of magic.
Even for those Vastayans, the spiritual energy of Ionia is their source of life, and many Vastayan reproduction rituals are related to magic.
The forbidden Demacia can maintain its own order by relying on the forbidden magic stone.
But if there is no magic in Ionia, then everything will probably return to chaos.
Of course, these are "normal" perceptions.
Ms. Irelia, who left Ionia, was not in a normal mood at this time. After she left the First Land in embarrassment, she once conducted a period of profound self-reflection.
She carefully reviewed all her decisions after the Battle of Presidence, thinking about the gains and losses behind each decision, wondering whether there was a better choice at that time, and why she made such a choice at that time.
Among all the reflections, the thing she regretted most was that after the war situation was under control, she suppressed the Shadow Stream and the Navori Brotherhood, but did not completely establish authority and regain the land of Ionia.
So why were these decisions made at that time?
After reflection, Irelia believes that there are two reasons.
Irelia herself did not realize the nature of the struggle and still had unrealistic illusions. She believed in the promises of conservatives led by elders and monks, believing that they could really restore peace in Ionia.
And objectively speaking, Irelia... is indeed unable to support Shadow Stream against all odds.
There is no way, even looking back now, Irelia feels that the Shadow Stream is a bit too extreme - the front step is just to fight alongside everyone in Presidence, and the back step is to create more shadow warriors and wipe out the remaining Lotlan people.
Most of the few spiritual temples are occupied. This behavior is simply a de facto division of Ionia.
As a result, the Ionians and Vastayans who had just fought side by side fell out on the spot. Many Vastayans, including Xia Luo, expressed the opinion of "I am without him" and resolutely opposed Shadow Stream.
In contrast, the conservative elders who are willing to abide by the Yuloa Contract and live in peace with the Vastayan people can naturally become New Ionia's greatest common denominator.
Irelia has thought countless times about what she should do to get out of this predicament if she was given another chance.
After much thought, she still could not find a way to bridge the contradiction.
When the Noxians became powerful and caused irreparable damage to Ionia, whether it was the conservative elders and monks, the radical Shadow Stream and the Navori Brotherhood, or the Vastaya who ignored the secular world,
People are willing to unite together to fight against the Noxians.
But as the Noxians were completely defeated, the contradictions within the Ionian camp were quickly highlighted. Among the many forces, it seemed that the conservative elders and monks were the most reliable.
At least... they won't do anything bad.
Irelia cannot and does not have the ability to support Shadowstream and the Navoli Brotherhood.
This is a dead end.
Therefore, along the way, Irelia has always harbored the idea that the stones from her mountains can be used to attack jade, to see if she can find some experience from the outside to deal with the internal problems of Ionia.
In Vazuan, she realized for the first time that harmony leads to differences. Perhaps the unity of Ionia does not necessarily mean that all Ionia people need to speak with the same voice. Ionia's warriors should be on the battlefield.
Everyone is united, but on the battlefield, everyone can represent their own interests, and conflicts do not necessarily mean compromise based on the greatest common denominator.
After learning about the ban on magic in Demacia, Irelia thought she had found an opportunity to establish the Ionia "Parliament".
Through Demacia's ban on magic, Irelia clearly realized for the first time that magic itself could be viewed as a resource.
Although spiritual temples have been established in many magic-filled areas in the Land of the Newborn, which are also the key to competition among many forces, because this competition is often accompanied by competition for living space, competition for land, and reproduction of the population, they are often
It is regarded as a comprehensive issue of power expansion.
But the most basic thing, which everyone uses subconsciously, the magic power that flows naturally from the spiritual world, is not listed so clearly.
After observing the control of magic by the Demacians, Irelia was surprised to find that in the First Land, the magic she thought was "available to everyone" was actually strictly controlled.
Down.
The vastaya need magic power to survive and reproduce, so everything they do must revolve around natural magic nodes. After leaving the temple, the tribe will decline at the speed of light.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Human beings also regard the use of magic as the most common thing, but if they want to learn magic, they must join some sect or organization, otherwise they will not be able to control this power.
Because Demacia's attitude towards magic is too clear, Irelia singled out magic as a condition for the first time, and then unexpectedly discovered that magic could be used as a way to clarify the complex situation in Ionia.
Universal solution!
If the newly formed Ionia government can firmly control the distribution of magic nodes and magic education, does that mean that it can truly control the political situation of Ionia?
There is obviously no answer to this question, but Irelia thinks it is very possible after thinking about it.
So, Irelia began to try to understand the Demacian way of controlling magic-forbidden stones and magic seekers.
There are no magic stones in Ionia.
But Ionia has a large number of magic nodes. Some of these places have become holy places, some have built temples, some have become natural temples for the vastaya people, and some have become gateways to the spiritual world.
The opening of the boundary.
During the Ionian counterattack, these places were recaptured by Irelia one by one. If she had used these places as bargaining chips to coordinate the entire army in the future, instead of returning the rough property to the original owner,
, then will there be an opportunity to bridge the conflicts between the parties through distribution and negotiation?
Moreover, unlike Demacia, because Ionia is the land of birth, it is close to the spiritual world, and the plane barrier between it and the spiritual world is the weakest. In Ionia, even if it is not a place full of spiritual energy, a certain
Some extraordinary beings can also use their own means to open channels to the spiritual world and introduce spiritual energy like digging a well.
Therefore, if these extraordinary beings were included in the new order of Ionia, would the effect be better?
Although this is difficult, for Irelia, at least she has found a clear direction!
This discovery made Irelia very excited. Just like when she was observing the negotiations between the two cities in Vazuan, she carefully studied the work of the magic seekers and the creation of the forbidden magic stone in Demacia, and at the same time thought about whether she could
Learn its essence and apply it to Ionia.
However, just when Irelia gradually came up with a set of ideas of her own, and began to try to record her thoughts and organize them into a plan, she heard the news of Laxana's rebellion.
ah?!
Wait, how could this happen?
Irelia also knows about Laxana. After all, in recent years, a lot of furs from the northern border trade have entered Ionia, and many of Ionia's products have also been sold for a good price through the northern border.
Because of the price, several powerful forces who became rich spoke loudly.
In addition, Irelia remembered that when the northern trade began, Ionia also sent a special inspection team to inspect Lady Laxana - according to the report at the time, Lady Laxana could
Said to be "a model of nobility who combines loyalty, kindness, kindness and self-denial", his whole body is simply exuding golden light!
But now, your Excellency, this model nobleman, has raised troops from the north and is brazenly plotting rebellion?
What is she planning?
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Irelia's brain shut down. From her perspective, she really couldn't understand what Lady Laxana was thinking.
You know, as soon as the news of the army in the north came out, her reputation changed from "noble model" to "shameful scum" in an instant - even if Irelia was kicked out of Ionia's political arena, she retained it
Even though she had the dignity to retreat from the rapids, Laxana simply didn’t have any dignity left at all!
Moreover, she had to face Jarvan IV, who had conquered Nashrame and directly defeated the Noxus Empire in Tobitsia. Irelia had met Delmar at the Gate of Sorrow.
The West Asian army is truly elite, not even the Trifari Chapter of Noxus can compare with it.
So, Laxana was simply driven crazy to make such a rebellious move at this time, right?
As an Ionian who has just experienced a war, Irelia sincerely disagrees with Laxana's choice. According to her judgment, this clown-like and funny rebellion is destined to end in chaos.
, no disturbance.
However, the development of things turned Irelia, who had self-judgment, into a real clown.
After the stalemate, the Northern Walkers won a great victory at Badaopo. They defeated the main force of Xiongdu Front in one battle and even captured Jarvan IV.
Jarvan IV himself was quite straightforward. He immediately announced his surrender and stopped resisting as soon as he was captured.
Irelia, who was unable to enter the capital due to the tense situation and could only wait silently in Jendel, was dumbfounded. At first, she thought that the news was just spread by spies in the north to disturb the morale of the army, but the disturbance disturbed the morale of the army.
, the flags of the capital city of Demacia have all changed colors.
What is the situation in Demacia? Originally, it had little relationship with Ionia and Irelia. After all, the distance between the two parties was really far. At most, they could become partners in shipping trade. At this time when Noxus is falling apart.
, it is difficult to have political connections outside the economic field.
But don’t forget, Irelia just wanted to copy Demacia’s magic control homework!
Especially when the news about the Archon came, and when Laxana began to try to normalize magic, Irelia felt that her carefully prepared plan had almost completely turned into waste paper.
This feeling is just like copying the paper of the student next to you who answered the questions quickly during the exam, thinking that you can hang out with the top student, but in the end, the other student was throwing erasers the whole time, and you didn't pass the grade at all.
I originally wanted to learn advanced experience, but I haven’t finished writing my study notes yet, and advanced experience has become my epitaph!

What a waste of time to learn!
Irelia, who was in Jendel, suffered another heavy blow.
Then, while Irelia was packing her things and planning to leave Demacia, Gendel's land reform began.
Irelia watched in stunned silence as the clerks sent the Demacian nobles to the trial bench, tried them, and then redistributed the land. She even saw several nobles being found guilty of murder and hanged directly.
On the tree at the head of the village, listening to the cheers of the people, Irelia felt that her outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
You know, in Ionia, even the vicious serial murderer [Golden Demon Jhin] was not executed, but in Demacia, Laxana and the clerk liquidated the former nobles mercilessly!
And because the land was allocated and their grievances were cleared, the local people even wholeheartedly welcomed it!
Isn’t this a complete mess?
Once the hands of those in power are stained with blood, will they still gain the support of the people in the future?
Irelia thinks it's impossible. In her opinion, Demacia is finished. It will soon turn into a monster like Noxus, and its former nobility and glory will be gone.
But unfortunately, the answer given by the people was "yes". The farmers happily accepted their new land, and many skilled people received additional subsidies. Later, even places like Jandale,
Many primary processing plants for agricultural products have appeared. Here, Irelia saw a production method that also used magic, but was completely different from Ionia.
At this point, Irelia finally confirmed that she could not understand it at all.
But she was not depressed, because not being able to understand was not a bad thing, it might mean a brand new possibility that she had not discovered in the past - so she reorganized her past experiences in Demacia, and took this thick
A stack of notes came to Xiongdu City.
She wanted to listen to Lady Laxana's winter speech and see if she could find the answer she wanted.
For Irelia, she has experienced too many dark moments in her life, whether it was the destruction of her family in Shangzan, the gloomy future on the eve of the Battle of Presidenton, or being squeezed out of Ionia.
The turmoil in the political arena is enough to crush a person's will.
But for Irelia, these can become her new starting point.
Just like picking up the broken family crest when she was in Shangzan, making a deafening cry in Presidence, and searching alone after leaving Ionia. Although her previous understanding was overturned, she still did it well.
